He is *not* going out tonight. Last
night, foxes woke me up at 1 a.m. going "WoW, WoW. WoW" in front of my
house.

There was a UK guy on the groups a while back that adamantly insisted
foxes do
not take cats. I always wondered about that. I always figured they could
take a
small cat, if they wanted to bad enough. You were right to keep him in.
Not
worth the chance.

There isn't any doubt that *some* foxes will take cats. Not all of them. I
know someone who has a cat, and was still up quite late, maybe 1 a.m. His
security light came on, and he heard an awful fighting noise. He looked out
of his window and saw that a fox had hold of his cat. He raced outside, the
fox dropped the cat. It was very badly injured, had to go to TED
immediately, fortunately eventually recovered. Which makes me wonder about
all these cats that go missing in Britain and never appear again. If he
hadn't been up so late, he couldn't have intervened and would never had
known what happened to his cat.
BF could definitely look after himself against a fox. Not when he's stoned
though!
He is inside and safe and that's where he'll be until the morning.
I love him too much to take any risks with him.
